I heard that Whitewater had a Freshman hit 92 or 93 on scout day. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

My sources place it at 90 on a gun that may not be as accurate as reported. The gun had not been calibrated in about 2-3 years.
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

i heard he topped 88 with a crow hop and a mighty tail wind

I heard that Multiple Guns at scout day had him in the low 90's.

I was only joking around!...well if you heard that then you must know who it is, so please share!

Why is he playing at a D-III if he is popping 92?  Honestly, that makes no sense at all.

Yea i dont know if I believe a freshman was hitting 92/93. Every high schooler i knew that hit 90+ was either drafted or D1 or both. Guess i will just have to see it to believe it

I know a former player at WW who still is around the team from time to time and he confirmed that a Freshman sat in the low 90's on their scout day.  He didn't know the name but he knows that the guy is a Sophmore in school but has Freshman eligability.

Some choose to stay in the state and play DIII because despite the fact that they get a scholarship it may not be a full ride and the cost of a school out of state may be more than going to an i in-state D3 school.  What did Koback through in HS?  He stayed.

MLB will find players anywhere, if that's the player's goal. Probably won't be a Boras client with a lot of zeros on the first contract, but in D-III you'll get scouted/drafted.
I've spoken with several D-I to D-III transfers (not all baseball players, but a few). The most common reason was D-I took the fun out of playing. I heard "It was like a job" quite often. And if it's a partial scholarship, like most sports, I've heard "It just wasn't worth it" a lot. If the athletes are from Wisconsin, WIAC tuition is usually less than D-I tuition with a partial.
